We haven't gotten better by keeping the same guys. Trading for Lee or signing Zach Brown would be a good start to making me feel better.

MichaelWeston Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Here is what the Bills have done so far in Free Agency. No huge signings but basically remade their offense signing 4 new OL starters. Blue is all free agent signings. This is what it would be like to root for a team that tried. The Bengals don't understand how important hope is for fans. QB Allen 23 Barkley 21 Anderson 20 RB McCoy 20 Gore 20 Ivory 20 Murphy 20 Ford 21 FB DiMarco 21 WR Brown 22 Scott 21 McCloud 22 Roberts 19 WR Foster 20 McKenzie 20 Williams Bolden 20 WR Beasley 22 Jones 21 Phillips TE Croom 20 Kroft 22 LT Dawkins 21 LG Feliciano 21 Teller 22 Ducasse 20 C Morse 23 Bodine 20 RG Long 22 Boettger 21 RT Nsekhe 21 Sirles 20 McDermott 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, multiple more seasons of watching the New Dave Shula--or the series of New Bruce Coslets who will quickly follow him--appeals to you that much? I wrote that post you quoted as an observation, not as a lament or a desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that last line is comic gold. Mike Brown doesn't care about us. He won't sign a FA to give us something to live for. Whaaaaa! He hasn't won anything. He must not be trying. I guess more than half of the owners in the NFL don't want to win either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 It’s fair to say the team had no real plan target quality players to filll huge holes. It’s the same old “ Wait for the dust to settle and pick over what is left” strategy. Find the injury prone guy or borderline starter on the cheap. Sign our guys back even though there are better ones to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really hard to believe. We have probably gone from being talked about as losers because ole marv can't get it done to just being an afterthought.

MichaelWeston Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Exploring Free Agents as we try to fill out the roster and the prices come down. Lots of depth here for camp etc. Starting with Cardinals. WR JJ Nelson-Wouldn't be a terrible veteran for camp if he doesn't get another offer. T John Wetzel-Wasn't tendered, he'll be 28 by the time the season comes along. He has 24 starts already. Not a terrible backup T Joe Barksdale-Started for the Cards last year. 30 year old with 78 career starts DE Benson Mayowa-Love this guy. Productive and under rated. 38 tackles and 4 sacks last year. 73.3 PFF rating. DT Rodney Gunter-Also under rated. 4.5 sacks and 44.5 tackles last year. 70.3 PFF rating LB Gerald Hodges-Puts up numbers whenever he plays but bounces around alot. 55 tackles. Just a 56 PFF rating LB Jeremy Cash-Would be a hybrid or nickel LB/S. Injuries have derailed him but a pretty good athlete if I remember correctly. IMO a perfect guy for camp. Likely to end up with Browns. S Tra Boston-74.1 pff rating last year. 79 tackles, 3 int, 9 passes defensed. Will only be 27 at the start of the season, feels like he has been around forever.
